1. If the quotient is 4 and the dividend is 12, what is the divisor?

• A. 3
• B. 6
• C. 4
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the divisor, you need to divide the dividend by the quotient. In this case, the dividend is 12 and the quotient is 4. Dividing 12 by 4 gives you the divisor, which is 3. Therefore, the correct answer is 4. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from dividing the dividend by the quotient in this scenario.

2. How many ounces are in 3/4 pints?

• A. 12 ounces
• B. 16 ounces
• C. 14 ounces
• D. 10 ounces

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of ounces in 3/4 pints, we need to know that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces. Therefore, 3/4 of a pint would be 3/4 * 16 = 12 ounces. The correct answer is 12 ounces because 3/4 pints is equivalent to 12 ounces. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately calculate the conversion from pints to ounces.

3. What is the result of dividing 152 by 2?

• A. 0.0116
• B. 0.116
• C. 76
• D. 11.6

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To divide 152 by 2, you perform the division operation, which is 152 ÷ 2 = 76. The correct answer is 76. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect. Choice A, 0.0116, is the result of dividing 1 by 152 instead of 152 by 2. Choice B, 0.116, is the result of dividing 1.52 by 2. Choice D, 11.6, is the result of multiplying 152 by 2.

4. At the bake sale, Josie bought 3 brownies for $35 each. She paid with a $5 bill. What change did she receive?

• A. $0.85
• B. $0.95
• C. $1.05
• D. $1.15

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Josie bought 3 brownies for $35 each, totaling $3 x $35 = $105. She paid with a $5 bill, so the change she received would be $105 - $5 = $100. Therefore, Josie received $100 in change, which is equivalent to $0.95. Choice A, $0.85, is incorrect because the change is $100, not $0.85. Choice C, $1.05, is incorrect as it is not the correct change for the transaction. Choice D, $1.15, is incorrect as it does not accurately reflect the change Josie received.

5. What number is represented by the Roman Numerals XLIV?

• A. 34
• B. 54
• C. 44
• D. 24

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In Roman numerals, XL represents 40, and IV represents 4. When XL (40) is combined with IV (4), it forms XLIV, which corresponds to the number 44. Therefore, the correct answer is 44. Choice A (34) is incorrect as it does not consider the value of XL and IV. Choice B (54) is incorrect as it miscalculates the value of XL. Choice D (24) is incorrect as it does not account for the value of XL.
